You really can’t say anything negative about a French tip nail. The nail design has been a classic since its inception in the ‘70s (thanks to ORLY’s then-president and CEO, Jeff Pink), and nail fans keep coming up with fun ways to reinvent the timeless manicure. As an enthusiast myself, one of my favorite looks to wear is a red French design.
“Red is a universally flattering color with a wide range of undertones, making it easy to tailor to every skin tone,” agrees celebrity nail artist Kim Truong. “Red French tips also allow for self-expression. You can keep it minimal with a micro French for a subtle look or go bolder with a thicker tip for more personality and impact.”
